Our Story

We have all experienced being part of a charity that struggled in some manner, funding,
volunteerism, communication, balancing resources of all kinds. Typically there are a
handful of people involved in the success of our favorite charities, whether they be
donors, volunteers, or the limited number of staff. As part of a graduate program we
decided to do some serious research and find a solution.

The results for charities was a struggle with resources, duh, and communication. We also
found that the solutions to some of these problems are very fragmented and very
expensive. They have high monthly fees, additional fees for donations that could add up
quickly, and graduated fees based on number of contacts that increase rapidly.

What we found on the individual’s side, they want more communication from the charities
they support. They are willing to give more of their money and time to charities that share
their successes and needs more frequently.

Well, we are setting out to fix these issues by building an all-in-one platform. e-llumo’s
goal is to reduce the strain on the resources of charities. We are doing this by providing
the tools needed to be sustainable at no cost*.
